Archaeological Dig – Year 10 Elective History and Year 11 Ancient History

On Friday 27 July Year 10 Elective History and Year 11 Ancient History went to Macquarie University and conducted an archaeological dig. They spent the morning excavating real artefacts buried on site at Macquarie University. Throughout the day they excavated a grid pit, sifted for finer artefacts, catalogue and carefully recorded their findings to discover information about the occupants of the site.

In the afternoon the students spent time analysing the artefacts found, which included human skeletal remains, seeds, pottery and horse shoes to make calculated inferences determining the function and occupants of the site. The students thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to have a hands-on experience of being an archaeologist and debating their findings.

Ms Peruzzi and Mrs Mumford On Monday May 14, Year 8 Geography classes attended an excursion to North Head to learn about the interconnections made in the area from the Indigenous Australians through to today.

Students explored the natural environment of the area, learnt about endangered species such as the Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub and the long-nosed bandicoot and built bandicoot nests to protect the species.

The guides from EcoXplore informed the students of how the Indigeneous Australians interconnected with the area from using paperbark from the paperbark tree to make talcum powder, through to the significance of the site for ceremonial purposes.

Students learnt about other interconnections with the area over time. From the Quarantine Station Cemetery, the Australian military during World War 2 through to the management of the area by the Harbour Trust Fund today.

Students were then asked to discuss both the positive and negative impacts of these interconnections on the physical environment of North Head.

Mrs Alison Mumford HSIE Department Year 9 History watched a Special Presentation on World War 1 and the Battle of Beersheba. On Friday June 22, Year 9 History were involved in a presentation on the Battle of Beersheba and the role of the Light Horse brigade in the battle. Students were informed of this historical event in Australian history by special guest presenter Mr .

Peter engaged the audience by recounting factual information, informing the students of the role of the Light Horse Brigade in the battle as well as the historical accuracy of the movie “The Lighthorsemen”. As Peter was a leading actor in the movie The Light- Horsemen students were able to see the uniforms worn by soldiers from the time as well as view the battle scenes from the movie.

Following the presentation there was a Q and A session where students asked many questions such as: ‘Were any horses injured in the film?’ ‘How did the writers research the Battle of Beersheba to make the movie historically accurate?’ ‘Do you keep in contact with any of the other actors involved in the film?’

Many thanks to Mr Peter Phelps for giving up his time to come and speak to Year 9 History.

Mrs Alison Mumford HSIE Department Self-Interest Projects in 7E History At the end of Term 2 in History, 7E worked on a self-interest History project in which they researched the history of a topic and developed a resource to share with the class. Although we had just finished studying Ancient Civilisations, students were allowed to explore the historical nature of anything that interested them, which made for wonderful variety in the final products.

For example, we were audience to a presentation on Ancient Japan by Tia, Ruby and Emma, who also taught us how to make an origami crane. We still have board games to trial made respectively by Amber, and Jorja and Bri, which concluded their presenta- tions on the Kingdom of Kush, and the Quarantine Station. We even learnt about the history of the FIFA World Cup with Harley, Jack, Bastie and Jarvis, including Bastie’s predictive call that France would win in 2018. Students really enjoyed applying the inquiry skills they have been developing in History, as well as their creativity and critical thinking, in an area that interested them and it was great to see how they applied them- selves to the task. Miss Coyte The Schlieffen Plan 1914 was a battle plan, drawn up by German tacticians, to secure victory against both France and Russia. In class, Year 11 Modern History were guided through the plan using a variety of different military scenarios and performed these on behalf of Germany, Belgium and the Allies. Their aim was to get the soldiers (jelly babies) to Paris in six weeks.

Setting up the Schlieffen Plan: Place the map of Europe on the table. Place the jelly babies and Maltesers in Germany. The jelly babies represent the German army and the Maltesers are their supplies. Place the yellow snakes in Russia (their army) scattered, red snakes in France (their army) scattered in groups, the green snakes in Britain (their army) and the orange snakes in Belgium. The mini M&Ms go in France, Britain and Belgium and represent their supplies.

The students quickly discovered that being a commander of war was much easier with lollies and chocolate than it was for the generals in 1914! Australian farmers, their families and their communities are struggling to cope with the worst drought in over a decade. Aussie farmers are being plagued and devastated by the drought. Crops are decimated, cattle appearing like skeletons are staggering in paddocks and dead livestock are strewn across barren land.

The situation is dire; South is in the grip of a drought worse than many can remember and 99% of NSW and 57% of Queensland are in drought or drought affected. During a good season with sufficient rainfall, farmers can produce enough food to feed thousands of Australians. At present, farmers are struggling to feed themselves. With some farmers being forced to shoot livestock that can’t be sold and cannot afford to be fed. However, you can help our Aussie farmers who are doing it tough.

There are many organisation setup to take donations such as The Red Cross, Rural Aid, Buy a Bale and Drought Angels.

However if you visit www.buyabale.com.au you can make a donation that will help. 5x$20 bales of hay will be able to feed one cow for an entire week. $250 delivers 11x 500 litres of water to a farm within 100km of the collection point. Plus there is an option to make a general donation to help make a difference. Cooper Keavy (Year 10)

Pittwater High School has donated a total of $1255.55!

Congratulations!

Well done to Stella Reay-Smith, Claire Thompson and Zane Ramey who have been short- listed for the 2018 Mosman Youth Awards in Literature. All three Year 11 students wrote engaging short stories with flair, showing a natural talent for creative writing. The following is an extract from the opening of Zane’s story:

Plantation The sweltering rays of sun slam down on my exposed neck and back as I move between the plants. The brittle wood of my machete handle callouses my hands and cracks my dark skin. Outside, the air reminds me of the hazy moments in my childhood where I had been baking with my mother in our small bungalow, before they took me. But not the smell. The putrid smell of fertiliser and human waste saturates the air between the long coffee bean corridors. The guards move over and lash out at me, hard, to get me back to work. Adamu and I make eye contact from across the field. I nod at him, signalling what is to come, an unspoken bond between two plantation brothers. The salt of my sweat stings the deep gashes in my flesh. My resolve is strong, but will I be able to main- tain this certainty in the dark of the night? When I’m driven by fear and not hatred, when the lives of others are in my hands? I slice and thrash, cutting at the forbidden fruit for hours on end, sweat dribbling down my forehead. The fruits fall and swing like tolling bells, sweet goblets of hope. The guards may mistreat me now. But they cannot expect our plans for tonight… Pittwater Pioneers compete in the 2018 Aurecon Bridge Building Competition

After several weeks of designing and building, the balsa wood truss bridge was completed and ready for competition in the Aurecon Bridge Building competition held at the Art Gallery NSW.

Three Year 8 students; Brodie Grainger-Markham, Connor Steven and Austin Turpin were accompanied by Mr Morton-Ramwell for this year’s event. Despite some dramatic last minute issues on public transport, requiring emergency gluing at the venue, the team were able to successfully compete. Their bridge, weighing only 54 grams held an impressive 4.7 kilograms in weight.

While the Pioneers did not win any of the awards on offer, they left the day with $40 in gift vouchers which went towards funding a special team lunch before returning back home. A fantastic day was had by all. Well done to the students for their efforts throughout.

Mr Morton-Ramwell (Science) On Wednesday August 8 the Year 11 Construction students began working on a project in the senior area. The class along with Mr Robinson marked out an area for them to be working on to achieve competencies in their VET course which they will be completing for their HSC in 2019. This is excellent work and it is great to see these students all wearing appropriate safety attire.

In Terms 1 and 2 of this year, Ms Seares’ Year 7 Technology Mandatory class was selected by the Department of Education to trial the newly redeveloped Minecraft Education Edition software. Throughout Semester 1, Ms Seares’ class increased their knowledge of twenty first century learning skills such communication, collaboration, critical thinking, problem solving, creativity and innova- tion in the online environment. The class built 3D prints in the beta edition of Minecraft Education, utilised Fusion 360 software to realise their designs before using the school’s 3D printing facilities to print their objects. The class also developed worlds to test student knowledge of Binary – an important part of the new technology mandatory syllabus which will be rolled out across NSW next year. Ms Seares has been informed that the lesson and worlds that the class devel- oped have since featured on the Minecraft Education Edition website – visited by teachers and students from around the world! Well done 7TEC3! Ms Seares

Apprenticeship Opportunities Mechanical Services & Air Conditioning

A local company has opportunities for practically minded young people to join its apprentice- ship program. The successful person would have a good practical approach and be willing to further their education within a trade environment. Mechanical Services covers the trades associated with providing air conditioning to buildings such as offices, schools factories and other large buildings. This requires the combined efforts of several trades including: - Refrigeration Technicians/Installers: - This trade deals with the repairs or installation of equipment which directly cools/heats air or water and is more closely associated with what the average person would associate or see in everyday buildings. However, the plant associated with this function in commercial environment is much larger and more advanced. Mechanical Plumbers: - This trade is associated with providing pipe work to move cooled or heated water around a large building. This trade takes standard plumbing functions to a higher level and involves pipe work, pumps and valving to ensure a constant supply of water to the vari- ous parts of the building. Sheet metal: - This trade involves the preparation and installation of ductwork and associated equipment which allows air to be transferred to various parts of the building. Each trade has a four (4) year apprenticeship period of which the first three (3) years the apprentice attends TAFE one day a week. The remaining year is on site, learning the trade and developing the skills required to become a first-class tradesperson.

Should you wish to be considered for this opportunity please email a resume and covering letter outlining why you would be suited for the apprenticeship to [email protected] If you have any enquiries about this apprenticeship opportunity, please email [email protected]

Cake stall at car boot sale on Sunday August 5

A big thank you to all the parents and students who helped by baking for the general fundraising committee stall at the recent PHS car boot sale. We had a wonderful selection of everything, but cupcakes topped the bakers' lists this year, with strawberry butterflies, oreo, mint slice, freddo frogs, cinnamon apple, white chocolate, red velvet and many more. A beautiful chocolate ganache cake with strawberries, meringues (from one of the teachers, thank you), date slices, carrot cake, anzac biscuits, toffees, fudge ... the list goes on.

We were located near the coffee cart and the BBQ, so well situated to keep all the hungry visitors happy. We were fundraising for the "PHS All Access Fund" which allows parents with financial restrictions to access sports and other fee based activities for their children. If this is something you'd like access to, please arrange a time to see Principal Jane Ferris (this will be confidential). The music committee did a wonderful job of organising and ensuring a great community feeling and well run event at the car boot sale.

The cake stall raised around $785 which is a fantastic result. We were almost sold out of goodies. Thank you again to the PHS community for such a great effort!
